If any damage is found, DO NOT USE THIS UNIT and contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604. When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following: 4 English Read all instructions before using this heater. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended. Always unplug heater when not in use. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or return to authorized service facility for examination and/or repair. Do not use outdoors. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over. To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip). Operate this heater only in its upright position. Do not operate this heater on an elevated surface such as a shelf or desktop. Use only while placed on the floor.
This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system, designed to turn off the heater when an internal overheating condition is detected (see How To Use RESETTING YOUR VORNADO HEATER, to determine how to check and reset the heater). This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Do not operate this product with any electronic speed-control device on the same circuit. www.sylvane.com 1-800-934-9194 HOW TO USE Using your Vornado Heater is easy. Just follow these simple steps. 1. 2. 3. 4. Position your heater so the vortex beam of warm air is directed across the room unobstructed. Position it in a location that is representative of the room temperature. The unique side-angled air inlets allow the heater to be placed closer to walls than possible with most ordinary heaters (but do not place close to combustibles). Avoid areas of temperature extremes such as cold drafts and heat registers. Please refer to IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this owner s guide. Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet. Set the POWER switch to ON. Set THERMOSTAT to the highest setting. When the room reaches the desired comfort level, turn the THERMOSTAT knob slowly counterclockwise until the heat cycles off (easier to detect when FAN is set to AUTO). Do not use heater to dry human or animal hair/fur or articles of clothing. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CARE & MAINTENANCE Your heater has no user serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the unit it will void your warranty. If service is required, return your heater to Vornado (see Warranty section). The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling. Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will require regular cleaning. Be sure to unplug the unit prior to any cleaning activity. Use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to clean any accumulated dust on the front grill and the side air inlets. During the off-season or extended periods of non-use, store your heater. Unplug the unit and bundle the cord. Save the plastic bag the heater was shipped in so you can cover the unit and minimize settling dust. English 5

OPERATING TIPS In smaller areas, you might prefer to set the FAN switch to AUTO. In the AUTO position, the fan will come on only when the heating element is on. In larger spaces, your Vornado Heater will function most effectively with the FAN switch set to CONT. In the CONT. position, the vortex beam of air will gently keep the air circulating in the room for even, uniform heating. www.sylvane.com 1-800-934-9194 ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES TIGHT GRILL SPIRALS Resists curious fingers. Your heater, like any other 1500 watt electric heater, draws up to 12.5 amps of electric current. If using your heater on HIGH HEAT causes your home s circuit breaker or fuse to trip, we offer the following suggestions: COOL TOUCH CASE Safe to touch, even on high heat setting. Try turning off other electrical appliances that run on the same circuit as your heater. Run your heater on LOW HEAT. Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home s electrical system. When the room temperature is higher than the set temperature it is normal and correct to have little to no heat coming out of the VH2 or VH102. When the unit is first turned on there is a slight delay before heat will start to be produced. ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE. AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT OFF SYSTEM If airflow becomes blocked and overheating occurs, power to the heating element is shut off. TIP-OVER PROTECTION Heater will automatically shut off if tipped towards the front or back. IDEAL 120 F EXIT AIR TEMPERATURE Warm enough to heat an entire room. English 7
